I think you miss understood me.

I was quoting DXP's 1984 book, "fundamental problems facing China today", he believed if the economy would grow, just like water level raising; all boats will rise with it too. And I quote: Fixing problems will be easier if China has the money".

Today, China’s economic might outpaced her military might especially in the eyes of the ASEAN leaders. Having a strong military without a strong economy to support would mean a failure at somepoint. He understood that and put it in writing.

Everyone included every official of China know the list of issues China is facing is very large. Internally, some solutions worked for environment/poor hunger relief/energy/security, some don't and backfired badly. Sometime, they take some completely moronic approach to issues according to their own admission, but they are not ignorance of the problems they are facing.

You keep citing long term international issues China facing, well, that is your view and I respect that. I tend to analyze what the PRC leadership's currently policy instead my own view, what is their view? 100 of millions are living less then 1 dollar a day, millions with out access to good health care, environmental issue is at a crisis point, income imbalance, etc etc.
